607.01Description.This work consists of
furnishing and erecting fence and gates of the types designated.Construct fence in a manner that provides a
rigid, taut fence closely conforming to the surface of the ground.

607.03Clearing and Grading.Perform clearing and grading
as necessary to construct the fence to the required alignment, and provide a
reasonably smooth ground profile at the fence line.

607.04Post Assemblies.Securely brace end, corner,
gate, and pull or intermediate anchor posts in position during the curing
period of the concrete encasement.The
Engineerwill not require forms for post encasement.

For Type 47 and Type CLT fence, ensure that the
maximum spacing between intermediate anchor post assemblies, or between end
post assemblies and intermediate anchor post assemblies, are 660 feet (200 m).

A.Type
47 Fence.If the fence changes alignment by more than 1
degree but not more than 4 degrees, install either steel line posts encased in
concrete or wood posts without encasement at all horizontal deflection
points.If the change in alignment is
more than 4 degrees and less than 30 degrees, build an intermediate anchor post
assembly at the deflection point.If the
change in alignment is 30 degrees or more, build a corner post assembly at the
deflection point.

B.Type
CL Fence.If the fence changes alignment by more than 1
degree but not more than 4 degrees, install line posts encased in concrete at
all horizontal deflection points.If the
change in alignment exceeds 5 degrees, provide a post brace and truss rod in
each fence panel adjacent to the post located at the angle point.If the change in alignment exceeds 5 degrees,
construct the footings for all post located at deflection points as specified
for end posts.

A.Type
47 Fence.Space line posts at intervals not to exceed
12 feet (3.6 m).Anchor line posts at
the bottom of dips or depressions in the ground surface in concrete.If channels or streams cross the fence line,
construct crossings as shown on the plans.

On tangents, place line posts so that the fabric,
when installed on the side toward the highway, is 2 feet (0.6 m) from the
Right-of-Way line.If adjacent to
Right-of-Way lines with less than 5740 feet (1750 m) radius (in excess of 1
degree curvature), construct line posts on chords so that the fabric, when
installed on the side toward the highway, is not less than 2 feet (0.6 m) or
more than 8 feet (2.4 m) from the Right-of-Way line.

Locate posts at points of horizontal deflection so
that the fence fabric will bear against the post.

B.Type
CL Fence.Protect the tops of driven line posts by
drive caps or other method to prevent distortion of the exposed end.Space line posts at not more than 10-foot
(3 m) centers, and place them so that, when the wire is fastened on the
side toward the highway, it is 1 foot (0.3 m) from the Right-of-Way line.

607.07Fabric.If setting posts in concrete,
do not erect the fabric until after 5 days from the time of setting the posts
when using regular cement, or until after 3 days when using high early strength
cement.

Stretch and securely fasten Type 47 fabric to line
posts using galvanized ties.At a
minimum, use one tie each for the top and bottom horizontal wires and one tie
for each alternate horizontal wire below the top horizontal wire.

Fasten chain-link fabric to the line posts using
clips or bands spaced approximately 14 inches (0.4 m) apart, and to the top
rail or top tension wire using bands or tie wires at approximately 24-inch (0.6
m) intervals or less.Join successive
rolls of fabric by weaving a single picket into the ends of the rolls to form a
continuous mesh.

607.08Barbed Wire.If barbed wire is specified,
stretch and fasten it in the same manner as woven wire fabric.

607.09Method of Measurement.The Department will measure Fence, Type ___ by the number of feet (meters),
complete in place.The Department will
measure along the top of the fence from outside to outside of end posts,
exclusive of gates and other openings.

The Department will count Gate, Type ___ by the
number of complete units of the size and type specified.
